Manager Jobs

About The Position

Requirements

• People leadership experience : Demonstrated history as a formal people manager or tech lead with direct reports — including performance management, career development conversations, and building team capability over time. This is not a senior IC role.
• Delivery ownership experience : You have owned timelines, driven sprint execution, and been directly accountable for what a team ships. You know how to run a team's operating rhythm, not just contribute to it.
• 7+ years of hands-on experience in cloud infrastructure/platform engineering with demonstrated scope growth and increasing leadership responsibility over that time
• Strong hands-on experience with Terraform in production (modules, patterns, environment strategy, state management)
• Strong hands-on experience operating Kubernetes in production
• Strong AWS fundamentals: practical experience with compute, networking, IAM, and production operations
• Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines
• Strong observability fundamentals including metrics, logging, distributed tracing, SLO/SLI design, and alerting strategy
• Experience building automation using Bash and at least one general-purpose language (Python or Go)
• Strong troubleshooting skills: you drive root cause analysis and implement long-term fixes, not workarounds
• Hands-on experience using AI coding tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude) as a productivity multiplier in production engineering work
• Comfort partnering with senior technical peers and sound judgment on when to consult vs. decide independently

Nice To Haves

• Experience with Istio or other service mesh technologies
• Experience operating relational databases in AWS (RDS PostgreSQL/Aurora/MS SQL)
• Experience with AWS Lambda or serverless architectures
• Experience improving reliability for distributed systems at scale
• Prior experience as a technical anchor or team lead in a platform or infrastructure context
• Experience building or operating infrastructure that supports AI/ML workloads (compute, storage, serving patterns) in AWS

Responsibilities

• Manage a team of engineers with full accountability for their performance, growth, and wellbeing
• Own 1:1s, performance reviews, and career development conversations — providing direct, constructive feedback that helps engineers grow
• Build a team culture that is organized, reliable, and focused on impact
• Mentor engineers through code reviews, pairing, and delivery coaching
• Partner with the VP on people concerns that require escalation; help shape the team's working norms and resolve friction before it compounds
• Be a strong technical contributor: carry significant engineering weight alongside the team and actively deliver on high-impact work
• Own day-to-day technical decisions within the team's scope
• Translate architectural direction into sprint-level tasks the team can act on
• Build and evolve CI/CD pipelines and delivery automation: ensuring deployment safety, consistency, and velocity
• Improve observability and operational readiness across metrics, logging, distributed tracing, and alerting — including actionable dashboards and SLO-based alerting
• Design and implement automation and self-service workflows using infrastructure-as-code, APIs, and developer platforms to reduce developer friction
• Implement secure delivery practices with policy-driven pipeline controls
• Contribute to infrastructure in Terraform, working within established architectural patterns and standards
• Support and improve secrets management patterns across runtime and CI/CD workflows
• Champion AI-assisted development practices across the team — prompt engineering workflows, AI-powered code review, and tooling integrations as first-class parts of the engineering workflow
• Own incident response coordination: drive the process, communicate status, and ensure issues reach the right people
• Participate in the on-call rotation and help drive improvements that reduce incidents and alert noise over time
• Build and maintain operational runbooks, escalation paths, and documentation for team-owned systems
• Drive production readiness as a continuous standard, not a one-time checklist
• Manage a team of engineers: this is a formal people manager role with full accountability for the team's performance and growth
• Own performance management: regular 1:1s, performance reviews, and direct, constructive feedback
• Own career development: growth planning, identifying opportunities, and building engineer capability over time
• Mentor engineers through code reviews, pairing, and delivery coaching
• Build a team culture that is organized, reliable, and focused on impact
• Manage team working norms, address blockers, and partner with the VP on people concerns that require escalation
